The Bruno Papers

I feel it bad. Really bad. Physically and emotionally. We all do at different points in our lives. Pain and hurt. For awhile there I was nursing some migraines that just wouldn’t go away (talk about pain). Now added to that I’m nursing a sore molar that I will have a root canal on next… Continue reading Part One: When You Need Me I’ll Be There

Big splash! The water is cold, but I’ve done it. A new post published. You would not believe how many posts I have started lately, but my mojo can’t get up to speed to finish any. I think all the time about things I could write about and the words I would use. Would readers… Continue reading I Can’t Think of a Thing to Write . . . Really?

Whew! I just put down my iPhone and I’m exhausted. And frustrated. I am tired of being ordered around by this erratic engineering. It’s true. I miss my small, light 3G. I realize I could go back to a 4G that isn’t as “fancy” as my iPhone 11. They have fewer options. I’ve read that… Continue reading Are Our Smartphones Really as Smart as We’d Like Them To Be?

Hello! I have missed you! Just when you thought you had heard the last from me, I reappear. Sometimes you just can’t seem to catch a break. Ha! This little sabbatical has been good. I have done some old and new things which have been mostly pleasurable. I think this is my biggest news. The… Continue reading So, Whazsup? As Bugs Bunny Might Ask

Namaste 🙏 💙💛

Here’s a brainteaser: All bugs are insects, but not all insects are bugs. I say this just for the fun factor. I don’t know whether the list above… Continue reading Bugged

Perhaps you think you know me. And you do. And I am glad. I bet the readers of The Bruno Papers know me better than anyone. Not that this is anything to write home about — merely an observation. So from a previous post, ”Going Deep,” here’s Part Deux. It’s just hodgepodge. For starters What… Continue reading Going Deep! Part Deux

It’s nothing deadly or anything of which to be afraid. It is not even a mental disorder. It’s a personality trait. It stands for a Highly Sensitive Person. You probably know some. I do. Perhaps you are an HSP. We are a country full of them. It is estimated by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. that… Continue reading I Am An HSP.

Hello. Hello. It’s noise pollution here. I’m trying to reach you. — STOP! I’m sorry. I can’t hear you. I don’t want more noise pollution. Go away. Don’t come back. If only we could get rid of noise pollution so easily. The fact of the matter is that it is a worldwide phenomenon. It is… Continue reading Can You Hear Me Now?

It kind of feels like it. Just another form of emotional abuse and mental cruelty. That sounds terribly harsh. Some people describe it that way. I totally get it. My case was mild. Mine regards one of the two new friends I mentioned in a previous post. It’s stunning and has caught me unawares. Ghosting… Continue reading Have I Been Ghosted?
